Just drove by a sign that read 'Demolay Ct.' With another sign attached reading 'Dead End'. IYKYK. 😂🔥

@Nunya Bidness Re: the technicalness of radio people: I'd NEVER underestimate one of them. It's true in commercial radio there's sometimes a separation between the actual radio people and the communications majors, but anyone who's actually in the radio tech side of it tends to be at least tenacious enough to grasp what they choose to when it comes to tech of other sorts as well. Once you've got the physics of radio down, abstractions like networking layers are pretty simple by comparison, as they involve a lot less in the way of noise factors. I might be overestimating some perhaps, given that I'm considering the ins and outs of amateur radio, while FM operators aren't exactly bouncing anything off the ionosphere or doing any tropospheric ducting, but nonetheless, if they're involved in the set up at all I give 'em a bit of credit.

Frens.

Don't forget to get some sunshine!

So...they went to the trouble of making a fake app, getting it on the App store, and stealing Bitcoin and shitcoins...and then sent it to custodial addresses? Some people are fucking special.

GM. Today we observe the annual day that serves as a deadline for paying up on the money extorted from Americans to the criminal enterprises that are centered in Washington DC. Let it be a day that reminds of of why we are building for a better future.

@jack mallers caveat to your rant on taxes, which I generally agree with. You need better examples. Calling out Google and Meta, who directly cooperate and are funded through government sources, and who absolutely effectively print money by issuing bonds in enwithligovernmentuch a rating that they blur the line with government, in my opinion, dilutes your argument. Likewise Elon's biggest customer has always been Uncle Sam, with SpaceX relying on government contracts, and Tesla, the Boring Company, and Solar City absolutely slurping on subsidies. The government uses these cantillionaires in many cases to skirt it's own limitations. Never forget PRISM and the other programs Snowden revealed, or Palantir. Socialists make the mistake of calling rich people the problem, and of course they're wrong, for the reasons you generally described. But many of these giga billionaires aren't the opposition to government control, but rather, the products of it. Call it technocracy, call it fascism, call it socialism, I don't care. But calling their wealth the product of providing value to society just seems flawed, for these specific cases. Not telling you how to think or use rhetoric, but I personally look at how to educate those deluded by socialist ideology to remind them that central banking is a SOCIALIST idea, not free market capitalism. When they point to ills as the product of capitalism, I try not to just tell them those ills are good, and alienate them, but rather, recognize where those excesses are actually stemming from a different source than they recognize. Don't sell yourself and the Tether folks short. You're not in the same class as Elon, Zuck, Pichai, etc. you're building in the free world while they serve as tendrils of the state. Turns out rich people aren't all the same -- but I'm sure that's not news.

GM Day 2 of the MIT Bitcoin Expo, looking forward to some more awesome talks and networking. And @calle a few of us had questions about geohashes in Bitchat given that they don't appear nested. Particularly what happens when and if a mesh outgrows a geohash. Does the person connecting via Nostr see things segmented at the block level? If you see the guy in red suspenders and you're there again today I'd love to know what happens there (or of course feel free to answer here -- you're a busy and popular guy. Especially looking forward to Kevin from Lightning Labs, especially after some L2 talk for things I'm not sure I normally think of as L2's yesterday. Folks who are at all worried or interested in the quantum stuff would be remiss to not check out Ethan Heilman's talk from yesterday. Excited for another great day of Bitcoin!
